... "Certain knowledge is more than opinion, less than truth."1 The arts and sciences are two very complicated areas of knowledge that have taught us that life is not that simple. It is not simply black and white. Many people believe that the natural sciences only use reason while the arts require only imagination. We know better. In philosophical terms, reason is defined as being "the intellectual ability to apprehend the truth cognitively, either immediately in intuition, or by means of a process of inference".2 Imagination on the other hand is "the revival of sense images derived from earlier perceptions and the combination of these elementary images into new unities."3 But if we examine these definitions in relation to both areas of knowledge, as philosophers, it would be fair to conclude that both areas of knowledge require reason and imagination. "Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense"4
